[Shenzhen, China, 6th February 2024] GlobalData, a global market intelligence firm, just released Packet-Optical Access: Competitive Landscape Assessment (Access WDM for short) for 2023. According to the report, Huawei OptiX OSN 1800 series offers leading architecture, excellent transmission performance, and mature commercial use cases. All this has helped Huawei rank as the only “Leader” with the highest score in access WDM by GlobalData. Last month, Huawei OptiX OSN 9800 series ranked as a “Leader” in backbone and metro WDM by GlobalData, marking the third consecutive year that Huawei WDM products rank “Leader” in all-scenario competitiveness reports including access, metro, and backbone WDM.

GlobalData evaluated access WDM products from multiple top vendors in ten dimensions, including data features, capacity, transmission performance, physical attributes and management, client interfaces, and OTN interfaces. Huawei OptiX OSN 1800 has been ranked as the only “Leader” in access WDM by GlobalData with the highest score.

“The Huawei OptiX OSN 1800 V Pro provides industry-leading high-speed client port density and industry-leading switching capacity,” said Emir Halilovic, Principal Analyst of GlobalData. “These features, together with diverse available client port types and high transmission capacity, enable carriers to use the OptiX OSN 1800 series in various transmission scenarios, including enterprise private lines and mobile transmission.”

Huawei OptiX OSN 1800 series products are applicable to integrated transmission scenarios such as home broadband, mobile bearing, and enterprise private line at metro ends. Huawei OptiX Alps-WDM solution leverages highly integrated OptiX OSN 1800 series devices to extend all-optical switching OXC from the core layer to the access layer. By building a dynamic bandwidth resource pool, the solution achieves 100G to site, helping carriers reduce network construction costs by more than 30%. In addition, the capacity meets the requirements of all-service development and evolution in the next 10 years, enabling carriers to build metro networks with the optimal total cost of ownership. The highlights are as follows:

Agile: Digital optical labels are developed to carry parameters such as wavelengths, spectral widths, and modulation formats without affecting channel services, cutting a large amount of labor costs and reducing O&M costs.
Long-term evolution: The 100G/200G fully-coherent optical module is customized for metro networks to optimize and integrate algorithms, silicon photonics ICTR integration, and receiver sensitivity to achieve the optimal cost per bit.

Pooling: The capabilities of nine traditional FOADM optical subracks are integrated into one ROADM optical subrack to build a wavelength resource sharing pool. In this way, each ring and node can apply for wavelengths on demand, saving device footprint and power consumption by more than 80%.

Simplified: As the industry’s first all-optical switching element, the MxN WSS optimizes the optical path layout, increases density, reduces insertion loss, and enhances the grooming capability. This extends all-optical switching OXC from the core layer to the aggregation and edge layers and enables E2E OXC capabilities.

New Delhi,6th February 2024: On the solemn occasion of World Cancer Day 2024, under the rallying theme of ‘Close the Care Gap,’ the Asian Coalition for Health Empowerment (ACHE) spotlights India’s concerning surge in cancer cases. Recent data reveals an alarming 1.4 million recorded cases in 2022, marking India as a hotspot for this life-threatening disease. ACHE expresses deep concern, particularly about modifiable risk factors, with tobacco emerging as a significant contributor to the growing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs).

Drawing inspiration from global success stories, countries like Sweden, Japan, and the UK have successfully implemented harm reduction policies, resulting in a notable decline in smoking rates and associated cancer cases.

Sweden’s smoking rate plummeted from 15% to a remarkable 5.6% over 15 years, marking it on the verge of being ‘smoke-free’ and boasting a 41% lower cancer incidence compared to the EU. In Japan, the smoking rate witnessed a sharp decrease between 2016 and 2019, with almost three in ten Japanese smokers quitting cigarettes. Following these success stories, Norway recently announced plans to legalise nicotine-containing alternatives in 2024.

Professor R Zimlichman from Tel Aviv University, Israel, commends Sweden’s success, stating, “Switching to smokeless alternatives has resulted in a 70% reduction in smoking-related deaths compared to neighbouring countries. Urging the adoption of harm reduction, he adds, “While quitting smoking is the ideal scenario to prevent cancer, the reality is that millions struggle to quit. Harm reduction provides a pragmatic and potentially life-saving alternative.”

One in nine Indians will develop cancer in their lifetime, with tobacco being the leading culprit. Yet, India ranks second in Asia for cancer burden despite adhering to WHO tobacco control policies. The answer lies in finding alternatives, not just outright bans.

As the world unites on World Cancer Day under the theme “Close the Care Gap,” the focus on tobacco-related cancers takes centre stage. The call for harm reduction measures becomes imperative, offering individuals alternatives to traditional tobacco and paving the way for a healthier future. Dr Chandrakant S Pandav, Padma Shri Awardee, Global Public Health Expert, Iodine Man of India, emphasises, “Success stories, such as Norway’s recent decision to legalise nicotine-containing alternatives, underline the importance of harm reduction in averting the impact of tobacco on cancer. Acknowledging the critical role harm reduction plays in steering away from the grip of cancer is paramount.”

With millions facing the grip of tobacco addiction, harm reduction presents a pragmatic path forward. It empowers individuals with safer choices, paving the way for a healthier future.

This World Cancer Day, let’s learn from global success stories and embrace harm reduction as a vital tool in the fight against tobacco-related cancers. By offering alternatives and tackling modifiable risk factors, we can close the care gap and build a healthier tomorrow for millions in India.
